War incident.

Near Hagerstown I had an expe-
fence with an old dunkard which gave
me a high and lasting respect for the
people of that faith, says Gen. E. P.
Alexander, writing in the Century of
the battle of Gettysburg. My scouts
had had a horse transaction with this
old gentleman, and he came to see me
about it, Hemade no complaint, but
said. it was his only horse, and as the
scouts had told him we had some hoof-
sore horses we should have to leave
behind, he came to ask # / would trade
him one of those for his horse, as with
out one his crop would be lost.
l recognized the old man at once as
a born gentleman in his delicately
speaking of the transaction as a trade.
So l assented to his taking a foot-sore
horse, and offered him besides payment
in confederate money. This he respect
fully but firmly declined. Considering
how the recent battle had gone /
waived argument, but tried another sug-
gestion. | told him that we were in Mary
land as tile guests of the United States;
that after our departure the govern
ment would pay all bills that we left be-
hind and that ! would give him an order

Referring to Congressman Regan's

it was a curious phase of affairs that a
ridiculous little thing like this some
times hits a man harder than a serious
affairs. sIn Missouri one of our young
men was literally run out of the state"
said he, ''by a story that was possibly
c]oncocted about him, but nevertheless
sounded SO plausible that it went the
rounds. His name was Russell, and he
had been recently elected to the state
senate. It was before the railroad
system was as complete in Missouri as
at present, and he was on his way to
Jefferson City on horseback: He was
belated till after dark, and as he was
passing through a dense forest a hoot-
owl cried out: Hoo. hoo, hoo With,
great pompsity Russell respoaed: i
am Col. William Henry Russell state
senator of Missouri, SIR After the
story got out Russell could never begin
a speech on any topic that someone
did not cry out, Hoo, hoo, hoo,'
and from across the senate chamber
some other member would respond,
Col. William Henry Russell, state sena-
tor of Missouri, SIR He moved out of
the state to escape the constant ridicule
to which he was subjected."-Meao

Judge McCalluln Won,

Circuit Judge McCallum's (of Iowa)
first cases was before aJustice who was
extremely harsh with criminals. The
weakness of the old Puritan was his
generation for veterans Of the war.
The Philadelphia News tells this an
ecdote of the Judge:
McCallum had fought four years.
His client was a thief. ..The only thing
I can do for you, :" said Met allum, after
having gained the mans confidence,
lis to implore the mercy If the Court.
When you go on the stand tell the
whole truth" The mar had stolen a
COW, killed it, sold the hide and taken
the carcass home to his family, which
was really suffering for the necessarics
of life. '*Now, your honor" said
McCallum, +the defense has no
witnesses. My client is guilty. He
has hid nothing from the court" Then,
turning to the prisoner az if the fact
had nearly escaped him, MEG allum said:
''By the way, you were a soldier in
the hate wal, were you notP" Eyes,
sir. weren't you at Gettsy burgp"
Yes, sir" $50 was l., ~
And you were in other historic bat
ties. fighting for your country. while
your wife and family suffered from
want at homer" ''Yes, sir" The pros
ecution at this point saw the way the
case was drifting, and attempted to
ridicule the "old soldier Defence" as
the prosecuting attorney named it. The
effort on yhe old Justice was to
arouse all mis- loyalty and ind; gnation.
Enough Of this" said he, bringing
his hand on the desk in front of him
with a laundering thud. ':No soldier,
no man who has shed his best blood
for his country, not even if he be a
criminal, a be revlled in my presence.
The prisoner is discharged. And, sir,
when you are suffering for the necessa-
ries of life again, come to me-" The
joke was to good to keep. McCallum
told the Justice day that the old
soldier was an ~ex-Confederate, but
never gain did McCallum practice in
that court.

on the United States for the value of his
horse. and have it approved by Gen.
|Longstreet. To my surprise he de-
clined this also. I supposed then that
he was simply ignorant Of the bonanza
in a claim against the governments. and.
| explained that; and, telling him that
money was no object to us under the
circumstances I offered to include the
value of his whole farm.
He again said he wanted nothing but
the foot-sore horse. Still anxious that
the war should not grind this poor old
fellow in his poverty, l suggested that
he take two or three foot-sore horses
which we would have to leave anyhow
when wemarchcd. Then he said: "Well
SIT, [ am a dunkard, and the rule of
our church is III eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth, and a horse tor a
horse, and I can't break the rule"
I replied that the Lord. who made all
horses, knew that a good horse was
worth q dozen old battery scrubs, and
after some tinae prevailed on him to
take two by calling one Of them a gift.
But that night about midnight we were
awakened by approaching hoofs, and
turned out expecting to receive some
order. 1t was my old dunkard leading
one of his foot-sores. ..Well, sir" he
said, ''you made it look all right to me
to-day when you We're talking; but after
| went to bed to-nightI got to thinking
it all over, and / don't think I a ok
plain it tothe church, and / would rath-
er not trT." With that he tied the old
foot-sore to aafence, and rode off abrupt
ly. Even at this late day, it is a relief
to my conscience to tender to his sect
this recognition of their integrity and
honesty in lieu of the extra horse which
I vainly .endeavorod to throw into the
trade. ......

Medical Uses of ELECTRICITY.

Electricity is essentially a stimulant,
but according to the particular kind
used to affect the human system we
find higheror lower xcitationproduced
That which is produced by means
of the friction electrical machine gives
a sharp quick stimulation to the body,
while the kind generated in the voltaic
battery gives "a slower stimulation.
The;induced current, as produced by
the galvano faradic battery is of high
stimulating quality, and is denominated
h~e>secondary current, in contradistinc-
tion:to the primary which is the direct
current from the voltaic cells. 1t
may be laid down as a fundamental
principle that there are just two great
diseased conditions, one of which
electrically considered is positive, or in
medical Language 'hypersthenic. while
the other class is considered negative,
or: asthenic. Under the positive we in
clude all such as are attended with in
fammation, congestion, soreness, acute
pains, bruises. fevers, sprains, extraneous
growths, expanded muscles, and swell
ings of all kinds. under the negative
are included paralysis, local or general
debility, contracted muscles, nervous
'p~rostration, GOODNESS of the extremities,
torpid liver and'inaction of any part of
the system, with: atrophy or tendency to
decomposition, local or general. In
disease thereis an unbalanced condition
of the electro vital forces, and our
bodies may be considered. as an aggre-
cation of delicately arranged organic
compounds and simple elementary
tissues, each of which possesses electrical
qualities. When any agency, internal
or external, produces a polarity or ac-
emulation Of either body in greater
amount than naturally belongs to any
portion of the system, then are produced
the various symptoms Of disease in that
surcharged part, and ;kence we con-
clude that the great requisite in curing
the disease in the removal of the excess
of electricity, or lin other words to
change the direction of the current
to other parts of the system, and as we
have already shown that positive re-
pels positive and negative repels mega
tive while positive attracts negative,
we can quite readily comprehend the
rationale of treating by electricity the
various forms of disease.-ElectricuZ

Why He Prefers Mules to Horn

A well-known manufacturer of this
.'citY--it isn't necessary to give his name

ihauling. For several years he kept
two horses. and while they did
their work well he suddenly concluded
to dispose of them and ibuy a pair of
mules instead. He says that after, the
horses had done their days or weeks
he was continually annoyed by some
of his friends or employees asking for
the use of the horses to take pleasure
drives. Not caring to offend them he
frequently accededf to their requests,
while all the time his better Judgement
told him that it was rough on the
horses, which by their honest work
were entitled to their just rest. This
thing went on for a while, and our
friend was bordering by day and by
night how he could bring about a
change. 1t occurred to him one day
that mules were not very popular for
pleasure-driyhg purposes, but that
they answered every other purpose of
horses-ln fact we're in several respects
preferable for his own use. So he con-
cluded to sell his horses and get q mule
team. His plan worked admirably, and
the other day he informed us that
since he got the mules he hasn't been
asked once for their use by his friends
or cmplloys.-AHentown (Pa.) Register.
